Dessert

I had this amazing plan on Monday. I would make kale 'n' mash and I would have a perfect dessert of blackberries and apple. It could hardly be better. However, the meal didn't quite come together the way I had hoped. 

First of all, I had cooked too many potatoes for the mash. Not to worry though, I left some out, to be used to fry yesterday. But even with the ones I left out, I still had a bit too much mash. Never mind though, I had enough kale. But since I only used one bag, I didn't really have that much. In the end though, the result tasted as it should. 

The dessert? It ended up in the bin! Because I left it on the stove for too long. Which meant that the blackberries and apple had turned into black slush and stuck to the bottom of the pan. And I mean really stuck to the bottom of the pan. As in: I need industrial cleaner to get it out! As I haven't got the industrial stuff, I have been trying ordinary stuff, but after three days of scouring cream, oven cleaner, more scouring cream, more oven cleaner (you get the drift): the result is the photo at the top (the pan on the right). 

I think I might need a new pan!

    ... I had that result once... only it was with the eggs I was boiling. The ones I forgot were on in the kitchen whilst I was in the garden with the J's. The ones which let me know there was trouble when they exploded.... Oh yeah. New pan....

    Meanwhile, mash 'n' kale sounds yum... YAM xx

    1. My worst story is with sausages. I forgot all about them and because it was pre-felines, I was never alerted until my neighbour rang the bell and told me there was smoke coming up through his floorboards. The sausages were unrecognisable, the pan was lost and the kitchen, bathroom, spare room and hallway were covered in greasy sooty stuff! It took months for the smell to disappear as well...

  7. In the first paragraph I was thinking that sounds so yummy! You have to tell me how you make the potatoes and kale. Sorry about your dessert. We were given Faberware pots and pans for our wedding in 1972. I have burned more things than I want to admit and each time with a good soaking everything comes out!!!
